Mike Francesa was stunned by Malik Nabers’ Travis Scott musical outing

Mike Francesa can’t believe how little influence sports franchises have on their young players.

Giants rookie star Malik Nabers, who is set to miss his second straight game with a concussion, was spotted at a Travis Scott concert this week.

Speaking on BetRivers’ podcast before Nabers was officially ruled out of Sunday night’s game against the Bengals, Francesa gushed about how Nabers could go to a loud, bright event when the Giants needed him back on the field.

“Here’s the thing I don’t understand — and it shows you how bad teams are now at handling their young stars. He has a concussion. He’s already missed one game. He didn’t pass the basic jumps for concussion protocol. What’s he doing at a concert?” Francesa asked.

“Now, I don’t know what concert he went to. If you mentioned the people, I’d probably never heard of them. That’s fine. That’s not the point. The point is: You know two things about a concert. It’s loud, and there’s a lot of flashing lights.” Neither of them helps heal concussions.

Francesa remained puzzled that NFL teams wouldn’t be able to prevent Nabers from going to the event.

“You’re trying to make this guy available so he can win football games. He’s already proven his worth getting drafted where he’s been, and he’s on his way to stardom. And we all agree on that. But it shows you how bad these teams are now with the behavior of their players. This guy is hurt.” What is he doing at the party? Francesa asked.

“You can say, ‘His time is his time.’ His time is not his own when he has a concussion! What is he doing out there?”

Giants coach Brian Daboll addressed the matter with reporters on Friday, saying the matter would be handled “internally.”

On his podcast, Francesa admitted there was no evidence that Nabers was partying or “drinking,” but reiterated that he shouldn’t have gone out to a concert.

“This shows you again and again that they can’t control these young players, and they can’t get them to devote themselves to the current match. He should rest!” Francesa said.

“I don’t care what he does with his time normally. That’s his job. I hope he’s smart about it. But it’s just completely irresponsible and stupid that he’s at a concert. It doesn’t make sense.”
